yep, this is killing me. I can't for the life of me think of anyone who would want to do this to me, but it certainly seems they went about it with a vengeance. Also, I live in a gated community, so it's not like just anybody could have passed by...

The thoroughness of the damage done astounds me - both bumper covers, both headlights, both tail lamps, windshield,1 piece windshield trim, liftgate glass, trim piece at front of hood, drivers side quarter panel glass. That's the stuff I believe will need to be out and out replaced. Then, they keyed and or dented EVERY body panel. OH - and keyed all four wheels! The paint is through the clearcoat and color, so no buffing it out.

Is it really possible to buff out the headlamps/tail lights? The scratches seem pretty deep, and I'd worry that they wouldn't be as good as new if they just buff 'em out?

I'm sick. I feel like I'm gonna throw up every time I think about it. I have babied this car, and I can't even describe how angry/frustrated/upset I feel...

I should know either tomorrow or monday what the total repair cost is - I checked on KBB and the retail value of my '08 is about 16,500 - god, I hope I don't go above the magic percentage my insurer uses to decide if it's totaled.

Again, thanks for listening and thanks for the kind words!

Bill
